The division insignia, as suggested by Major J. A. Ulio (later Major General,
the Adjutant General), then Division Adjutant, is the monad, the Korean symbol
of eternal life. It is half blue and half gray in matching teardrop design.
The colors represent the tradition of the division, composed of men of both
North and South, whose forefathers fought in the Union (blue) and Confederate
(gray) Armies during the Civil War.
